Prodtex becomes member at AMRC Research Centre

In February 2016 Prodtex become members at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) in Sheffield, UK. Having worked with the AMRC on numerous research projects in the past achieving membership status is seen as the next step in developing our relationship with the AMRC itself as well as the other AMRC members

The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with Boeing is a world-class centre for advanced machining and materials research for aerospace and other high-value manufacturing sectors. The revolutionary, glass-walled “reconfigurable factory” is at the heart of the University of Sheffield’s new advanced manufacturing campus on Sheffield Business Park. Factory 2050 is home to the Integrated Manufacturing Group, which is installing the cutting edge manufacturing and assembly technologies, advanced robotics, flexible automation, next generation man-machine interfaces and new programming and training tools that will drive its research.

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology – NTNU, Based in Ålesund, decided to utilize Dassault Systemes 3DEXPERIENCE software at the start of 2017. A sustained relationship of collaboration between Prodtex and the NTNU led to the decision to deploy the platform on the Industry 4.0 course.

Prodtex are at the SAE 2016 Aerospace Manufacturing and Automated Fastening Conference & Exhibition for the second day demonstrating their reconfigurable fixturing technology and virtual simulation of assembly lines.

Prodtex Ltd, a specialist in manufacturing processes, tooling and fixturing, will unveil its latest innovations in fixturing at SAE’s Aerospace Manufacturing and Automated Fasting (AMAF) Conference & Exhibition in Bremen from the 4th to the 6th of October.
